What happens if we put Debian Linux 11 on 11 Years Old MacBook Pro?
11 on 11, huh? Imagine that :)
I have installed Debian linux 11 (bullseye) on Macbook Pro Mid 2010, 11 years old computer and it is a good match. Not perfect but still.

During the installation, I am blabbing a bit about Linux and some basic knowledge, I hope you will not get bored.
Also, if someone is curious, in the first part I am replacing the disk. Piece of cake on this 2010 Macbook Pro.
Enjoy!
